Foursquare has just unveiled their second app, and this one is targeted at business owners.<\/p>\n

Available today, Foursquare for Business<\/a> is a standalone iOS app that allows business owners who manage a location on Foursquare to post updates, check analytics, and manage specials. <\/p>\n

As of now, the most useful aspect of the brand new app is the analytics. Business owners who have already claimed their location on Foursquare<\/a> can view recent check-ins and tips – so they’ll know if Susan B just told other users that the spicy beef sandwich is to die for or if the thai noodles are cold and icky. Business owners can also see stats for all-time check-ins, likes, and view “recent top customers.” <\/p>\n

Businesses can also use the new app to post photo updates, and then easily cross-post them to Twitter and Facebook. When a business posts an update on Foursquare, anyone and everyone who has ever checked-in or even looked at their page will see the update in their stream – no subscription or “follow” necessary. <\/p>\n

Lastly, the app lets businesses manage their specials. Note that I said “manage.” Businesses still have to create the special on the web, but once it’s created they can manage it with the app. This is a limitation, but one that we expect Foursquare to deal with in the coming weeks. The app did just launch, of course. <\/p>\n

As of now, the app is only available for U.S. businesses. <\/p>\n
